On May 1st 1986 Will Steger, Paul Schurke and Ann Bancroft, all from Minnesota, were among six hardy souls who became the first documented, unsupported dog sled expedition to the North Pole.

This week the original eight members of the team are all gathered in St Paul to celebrate the anniversary, the first time they have all been together since the event.

Jason Davis was the only television reporter to cover the expedition and on Sunday night at 10.30 he will include some of his exclusive video as he interviews Will Steger and Ann Bancroft about their lives since reaching the North Pole a quarter of a century ago.
